It displays the rich system info embedded into your desktop background.
- Install
sudo apt-get install conky
- Temperature probes
For older Dell laptops module i8k must be loaded and Conky use ${i8k_cpu_temp} to recall CPU temperature.
sudo apt-get install i8kutils
For modern laptops lm-sensors, then use ${acpitemp}°C to display the ambient system temperature.
sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
- Configuration
User based config file is located in ~/.conkyrc file. The rich features that can be displayed on the background are limitless. Below is the config based on Lenovo.
# UBUNTU-CONKY
# A comprehensive conky script, configured for use on
# Ubuntu / Debian Gnome, without the need for any external scripts.
#
# Based on conky-jc and the default .conkyrc.
# INCLUDES:
# - tail of /var/log/messages
# - netstat shows number of connections from your computer and application/PID making it. Kill spyware!
# - for Dell laptops module i8k must be loaded from package: i8kutils then cpu_temp can be read using i8k_cpu_temp
#
# ${if_existing /proc/net/route - it checks if default GW exists, it is helpful with external IP determination

Conky On and Off script
This is some times annoying to enable or disable conky on your dektop. The following scrip comes with help.
piotr@d600:~$ cat conky_on_off.sh #!/bin/sh # click to start, click to stop if pidof conky | grep [0-9] > /dev/null then exec killall conky else exec conky fi
Start Conky on boot in Debian
Debian uses conbination of /etc/init.d scripts and symbolic links in /etc/rc?.d. Each symbolic link starting with S will run and starting with K does not at the given runlevel.
On Debian and Ubuntu, runlevels 2, 3, 4 and 5 are multi-users runlevels. Runlevel 0 is Halt. Runlevel 1 is single user mode Runlevel 6 is reboot
Having the conky_on_off.sh script copied into /etc/init.d and using update-rc.d to create default symbolic links will boot conky at the start.
sudo cp ~/conky_on_off.sh /etc/init.d/ sudo update-rc.d conky_on_off.sh defaults
Remove from auto-boot
sudo update-rc.d -f conky_on_off.sh remove
